I gave her only zupreme color pellets this morning and she has been eating. I used to give her mostly vegetables. But I do notice that her crop in the morning or during the day is never full.

I'm glad you got results from biopsy. Clostridium is a bacteria. I'm not familiar with all antibiotics used to treat it, as metronidazole mentioned by Milo, was ehst we used.

How is her breathing? Improving? Still eating for you?

Hi Pixiebeak, yes she is eating her pellets. She is still coughing, it is a dry cough. But she is playing and talking like before. The dry cough happens when she eats or moves around in her cage. At night she doesn’t cough.

Good Morning everyone I just received the complete results via email.

Not comfortable with my memory on this. You will need your veterinarian, or other more experienced members in this .

How is your girl today? Is coughing still decreasing,? Still eating well for you ,?

Hi @Pixiebeak she is still coughing is a dry cough when she becomes active like preening and playing. I am working with my veterinarian. I was given a set of injection 2 times a day for me to administer :crycry:. I find it actually very scary. I have experience injecting/IV humans but not animals. I am a bit scare. I have already injected her once already today and she did not scream or moved. But I still don’t feel very comfortable about it. She is eating but the cough remains. When will the cough go away at least it stated since last Thursday . Every time I have to inject her is a nightmare for me.
